Very large white antibiotic..I am on 875mg

REPORT

I was prescribed this 4 days ago for a horrible ear infection brought on by a sinus infection, and no relief. I am wondering if it's not bacterial and maybe should be prescribed something different to relieve the pressure and pain?

my husband has been on Amox-Clav 875mg for 4 days now for dizziness. Doctor said it was an infection behind the inner ear. He hasn't felt good at all and hasn't slept for 2 nights now he has terrible cold sweats all night and feels sick. I didn't see sweats on the side effects but he won't be taking any more Amox-Clav.

sinius: also do sinius wash with squeeze bottle plus a
tiny pinch of red pepper in the solution
also take de-oderized garlic capsules with an enzyne
capsule to prevent the burp aftereffects--garlic & red
pepper both kill virius

Just checking to make sure you don't swallow the salty nasal rinse - if you hold your head down and on the side it should run out the other nostril, lowest to the sink. Also good is to inhale steam. Put boiling water into a container (I prefer a glass measuring cup with a handle, just easier) and put a drop or two of eucalyptus and peppermint oil OR vicks vapour rub, OR organic apple cider which has healing properties. Inhale with a towel over your head for 5-10 minutes for nasal relief. It loosens up the mucous and makes the saline rinse more effective too. Sure helps me - a chronic sinus and allergy sufferer.

oh, forgot to mention - after several bouts of unsuccessful antibiotics last fall and again this fall, I'm now on the 875/125 amoxi clav for 4 weeks, with an additional 2 weeks if needed. Thanks for all the input about it. It has progressed from nasal to my chest so sure hope I can last the month and get rid of it once and for all! Only taken 2 so far.

Ahh everyone on here with sinus and ear stuff.I had a anal fissure (a hole in the side of the hole haha).I know ,embarrasing and ridiculess,thanks god,anyway i took this last year and it healed and sealed up the fissure but it made me feel REALLY bad and then halfway in started making my elbows and hands ITCH!I am looking here for it to say somewhere that the itching was an allergic reaction or was it trying to give me nerve damage like the side effects say on this different antibiotic im taking called metronidazole for a reammergence of the chronic infection(externally at least) now.Im doing better with this stuff but i really feel extra weekened when i get home from driving but i got stress problems to go with it.(you might have stress problems too if your heart skipped a lot)Hope this helps someone.

I am 34 weeks pregnant and was prescribed AMOX/CLAV 875mg. I had a severe cough, could barely breathe and had no voice. Doc diagnosed me with bronchitis. It's been 4 days I still have the cough (yellow mucus) stuffy nose and my voice is not clear. It seems to me like it isn't working but I wasn't sure how long it should take to start helping.

After you finish your course of Amox-Clav, start daily nasal saline irrigation (or start it now). My ENT had me do this after my last bad sinus infection and it has made a world of difference. I use the blue bulb syringe from a Murine Ear Wax Removal package instead of a Netti pot. (Hate them). Just be sure you use distilled water to mix the saline. You can use sea-salt or table salt (non-iodized, trust me on this one) or buy the premixed saline packets at the drug store (Walgreens carrys them) with baking soda to buffer the saline. Just be faithful with it. Regular flu vaccinations help and I haven't had a cold or sinus infection for two years.

I had the same problem. I was told it was a sinus infection. It ended up being shingles.

you should not use antibiotics for the common cold, they only work on bactireal infections.

With the meds being that old they will not hurt you..they just will not be effective..like a soda being left open and loosing its fizz.

I went to the doctor the other week for pink eye, and I had also had a rough cold for a week or two. I was only there to get eye drops, but the doc insisted that I had a sinus infection as well, and prescribed me 875mg amox-clav tablets to be taken twice a day. I weigh just under 110 lbs. As soon as I started taking the tablets, I was nauseous constantly, throwing up, and was always rushing to the bathroom for diarrhea. Four days later I developed a yeast infection (I have no history of getting them), which I read can be a side effect. Overall, this drug has been an awful experience for me,

I just got the prescription today - 875/125 Amox-Clav. I went to the doctor for a tender nodule on my upper neck, close to my jaw. He said that it might be an inflamed cyst. Will let you all know how I feel in a few days.

Hi. I have the same symptoms. Would you care to describe how was your dizziness, please. I am going crazy with it. I had a CT and they said I have sinus infection. I am afraid I have something else. Did you get better?

My daughter was prescribed this antibiotic (Amox-clav 875-125 mg) for a sinus infection and was given a 10 day course. She forgot that it causes her to have acid reflux that stays long after the medicine is taken. She has only taken 6 pills. What consequences would be expected if she stops the pills now?
